In The Round Patterns

This ribbed-stitch pouf from MJ’s Off The Hook Designs gets its cozy, corduroy-like texture from front post double crochet stitches worked in the round from the top down. It’s an intermediate-level pattern made with super bulky yarn (like Mary Maxim Starlette Chunky) on a 9mm hook, and it includes an easy liner tutorial to hold your stuffing or bean bag fill, with the option to close it permanently or with a drawstring. The full technique is demonstrated step-by-step, for free, in the designer’s video tutorial — the complete written PDF pattern is also available on Ravelry, where it’s sold as a paid download.

This oversized, textured pumpkin pouf from Christa Lynn is a fun seasonal statement piece that doubles as extra seating or a footrest.

It’s written for beginners and works up in worsted weight yarn with an 8mm and 9mm hook, and a video tutorial is included for anyone who wants to follow along visually. At about 19″ wide and 17″ tall, it’s the perfect autumn accent for a living room or reading corner.

DROPS Design’s Marrakesh pouffe uses tapestry crochet to create a bold, multi-colored geometric pattern around the sides — grey, bordeaux, petrol, orange, hot pink, and lime all show up in the color palette. It’s worked in DROPS Snow (or Eskimo) super bulky yarn with a 6mm hook and finishes at about 48cm in diameter and 20cm tall. The pattern is translated into over 20 languages and includes a full chart, making it accessible to crocheters worldwide. Two to three pillows are used as the stuffing, keeping the project budget-friendly.

This mosaic-stitch pouf from MJ’s Off The Hook Designs is worked with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together on a 6mm hook, finishing at a substantial 16.5″ tall by 24″ in diameter. The mosaic effect is built by alternating single crochet stitches with drop-down double crochets, creating a bold, textured geometric pattern around the sides. The full technique is demonstrated step-by-step, for free, in the designer’s video tutorial — the complete written PDF pattern is also available on Ravelry, where it’s sold as a paid download.

Rebecca Langford’s Mosaic Floor Pouf uses two different yarns — a bulky #5 base color and a thinner contrast yarn — to create a striking mosaic-stitch pattern around the sides. Worked top-down and seamlessly in the round, the color-work technique lets the base yarn peek through the mosaic stitching for a layered, textured look. Finished size is a generous 20″ x 15″, using around 1,300+ yards of yarn total. It’s a great next-step project if you’ve dabbled in mosaic crochet before and want to try it on a larger scale.

A cheerful, perfectly striped pouf from Lorna Miser, published via Red Heart/Yarnspirations. The clever hack here is the stuffing method — instead of loose fiberfill, this pattern uses a child’s bean bag chair as the insert, which keeps the pouf firm and speeds up the whole project. It’s crocheted in jumbo yarn with a 10mm hook and finishes at a generous 27″ diameter by 15″ tall, and the pattern is beginner-friendly.
